I don't know about you guys, but whatever I brought was generally healthier than what the school was serving.

At least at university, we've got fresh fruit, a salad bar, and such available every day.

Good point. I could justify something similar over here on the grounds that it'd save the NHS money in later years provided these lunches were served at a really reduced rate or even free.

Fuck foie gras, that shit should be banned universally.

technically, if there are more people with health problems, then healthcare costs will rise, and as such premiums for groups will rise

but I can't say I care about an extra dollar a year

"We don't spend anywhere close to that on my son's daily intake of a sandwich (lovingly cut into the shape of a Star Wars ship), Goldfish crackers and milk," Northwestern education policy professor Diane Whitmore Schanzenbach told the paper in an email

Holy shit those parents are awesome.

Jumping in for a second to play devil's advocate, I bet a lot of parents who'd protest this also wouldn't turn down government money for their kids' health care.

I wouldn't take that bet. Plenty of resistance out there for govt. intervention in healthcare

Don't know anyone (except liberals) that would settle for the govt. telling them where to go for healthcare.

Wow, that is unacceptable!

There has to be some issue with this. I'm hoping it either goes down in a firestorm of parental anger or judicial bitch slap.
